Nearest stations London Bridge . to start: Section finish: Westminster Bridge. Nearest stations Westminster or Westminster Pier . to finish: Section distance: 2.4 miles (3.9 kilometres). Introduction. The pulse of urban London quickens again as you begin section eight. Hugging the South Bank, it links no less than eight landmark bridges and is a hub of cultural centres, including the Globe Theatre, South Bank Centre, Tate Modern and several famous museums. The route continues to follow the same route as the Thames Path and now also joins the original route of the Jubilee Walkway, as well as The Queen's Walk, which was fully opened in 1994. It is now possible to walk from Tower Bridge to Lambeth, only leaving the riverside briefly at Southwark. After passing through a number of riverside boroughs, the walker is now in a heavily built-up part of London, with many magnificent landmarks in view. The Thames is crossed by numerous bridges. As you walk you will be able to enjoy the skyline of London which has changed dramatically in the last half century, and continues to change from year to year, particularly along this section of the Thames. Look out for the Jubilee Greenway discs in the pavement as you go round. Directions Starting at Tower Bridge (on the south side of the Thames, with Tower Bridge itself on the right), walk along the promenade which is The Queen's Walk towards the peculiar egg-shaped glass building - this is City Hall, home of the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.
